Discussion

The weekend is shaping up to be quite decent for this time of year with high temperatures likely reaching well up into the 50’s on Saturday and then near the 50 degree mark on Sunday. The mild and quiet weather pattern won’t last too long, however. Colder air should return to the Mid-Atlantic region by the middle of next week and there are signs for a storm (or possibly two) to ride up along the eastern seaboard between Tuesday and Thursday. It appears the I-95 corridor is likely to be near the rain/snow line during that period and odds favor a mixed bag of precipitation here with some snow accumulations possible.
